CREATIVE ACTION

Building Bridges at Meeting Point 2025

Participants at Meeting Point 2025 will be invited to join a collective, ‘creative action’ on the first day. As yet this action remains unknown as it is being imagined and produced especially for Meeting Point by Curator Mali WU and 5 artist Fellows from the Mekong Region, on our theme of Building Bridges.

The selected artists are already working together online and will be coming to Vientiane early to work together in person. From Oct 6th, they will be in full-time residency and preparation for the creative action they wish to develop. Guided and supported by Mali, they will explore and exchange their own perspectives about the bridges they want to build to respond to the gaps or needs from their own contexts and practices, and then through art, creativity, physical action, or emotional sensing, collaboratively develop one or more ‘creative actions’ that they will facilitate during the Meeting Point event.

The aim of these ‘actions’ will be to bring the Meeting Point participants into conversation and exchange on Meeting Point’s theme “Building Bridges” by making an experiential connection to the topic and the dialogue, as a contrast and a complement to the more traditional presentations, panels and intellectual dialogues that will also be included in the program.

The Curator and the artists Fellows come from the Mekong Region and Taiwan with different professional backgrounds and artistic practices but have in common that: they are open-minded, curious and creative. We look forward to experiencing what they come up with!
